Protecting Your Original Diskette
Hint: It's a good idea to put a tab over the write protect
notch in order to make sure your original diskette is not
accidentally written on. Then you can remove it when
the back-up has been made, if you want to.
With the write protect notch covered, if the diskettes
get mixed up, a message similar to this is displayed:
Write protect error writing drive A
Abort, Retry, Ignore?

If you get this message:
1
Remove the original diskette from the drive.
2
Insert the back-up diskette into the drive.
